The liberator of sin
The giver of delight
I took the drug
And went out like a light
I giggled on the bed
As I stared at the wall
I was the one who felt ever so small
I couldn't take it
I couldn't win with my thoughts
Forever playing chess
And keeping reports
On whatever I saw
And whatever moved
I was emperor for an hour
I had nothing else to do

The universe caved in
My legs fell away
I took the drug but you didn't say
That I would be you and you would be me
When I took the pill
That put me to sleep
I couldn't take it
I couldn't spin all the plates
Forever in a mind field of personal games
What could I do
I was Caesar of Rome
Thank God I woke up
To find you had come home
